I took family therapy in graduate school. The professor was really great. He said that any unit of persons, animals..birds etc constituted a family... Therefore two people of any sex who live together are a family. Also their pets.. Values emanate from these units regardless of sex.. So this argument that family values constitute the basis for this nation is a fallacy to me. This was back in the seventies I thought it a wonderful concept. In fact we did not just learn theory in class we actually broke into groups that were to be a family, lived together day and day until problems arose and then took them to the therapist... I was an aunt as I remember living with relatives...So many issues arose.. The professor who was a practicing therapist would have couples who were in therapy bring their entire unit... the kids the dogs...cats.. One time I had parents going through a divorce and the only way they talked was through the dog.... Tell her she can not have the stero...etc. The daughter who was a student was a wreck. She had to have her own therapy.
